At least that was what was given out, though there seemed to be much mystery about her, and she was taking no treatment as far as was known. "Who is her physician?" asked Kennedy of Dr. Klemm as we sat in his luxurious office. "A Dr. Maudsley of the city." Kennedy glanced quickly at me in time to check an exclamation. "I wonder if I could see her?" "Why, of course if she is willing," replied Dr.
Tiernan himself, after his own conference with Edstrom, had been busy getting the lay of the land, as he termed it; and his investigations led him to believe that a certain alderman by the name of Klemm, a clever and very respectable German-American from the North Side, was to be the leader of the Republicans in council, and that he and some ten or twelve others were determined, because of moral principles alone, that only honest measures should be passed.
When he inquired as to how soon a vote on the General Electric franchise which had been introduced by Mr. Klemm could reasonably be expected, Gilgan declared himself much grieved to admit that in one direction or other considerable opposition seemed to have developed to the measure. "What's that?" said Hand, a little savagely. "Didn't we make a plain bargain in regard to this?
That afternoon she had been a negligible bit of Joralemon, to be accused of snobbery toward Eddie Klemm, and always to be watched suspiciously lest she "spring some New York airs on us."...

It was staggering. At this news Mr. Kerrigan, who had been calculating on a number of thousands of dollars for his vote on various occasions, stared incredulously. "Well, I'll be damned!" he commented. "They've got a nerve! What?" "I've been talking to this fellow Klemm of the twentieth," said Mr. Tiernan, sardonically. "Say, he's a real one! I met him over at the Tremont talkin' to Hvranek.
Lanky carefully massaged the arm in question, eliciting a few grunts from the stoical player under the process. "Only bruised, old fellow. By the way, have you noticed any limpers around this morning among the spectators, I mean?" he remarked, whimsically. "Sure, two of them, Jay Tweedle and Bill Klemm," laughed the other immediately.

Eddie Klemm called, with business-like cordiality: "H'lo, Fatty! Come in. How's your good health? Haven't reformed, have you? Going to join us rough-necks? Come on; I'll teach you to play pool. Won't cost you a cent." "No, I guess I hadn't better. I was just looking for Carl." "Well, well, Fatty, ain't we ree-fined! Why do we guess we hadn't to probably maybe oughtn't to had better?"
It appears as follows in the Prince's Memoirs: "STRASBURG, 26 April, 1890.
